Great Number of Buddhistic Relics.

arose. who built S4,OCo pagodas TO cover
these $1,000 relics. These relics still re-

Tn. P.r.,aa.s L.ci Of Cleanliness.

As the Persians are filthy beyond be-
lief in their personal habits, it is no un-
usual thing To see a high dignitary giving
himself airs in coat glittering with pre-
cious stones and resplendent with gold,
while vermin are daintily picking their
way between the clusters Of diamonds on
his breast, in full view Of his royal master.
Their public baths, although they num-
Der by the hundred In each Of the larger
towns, prevent cleanly habits rather than
promote them. The water in the common
tanks not alone serves for the ablutions
Of hundreds, but is changed only twice a
week as a rule, while the towels furnished
are never washed. and only hung out to
Try in the brciling sun along the mud
walls Of the bathing establishment Dis
eases due TO or aggravated by uncleanli-
ness are. therefore, frightfully common in
Persia, even among small children. As
for their clothes, they put them on, like
the Chinese, layer after layer, as che
weather grows colder, and peel them
selves again in the same fashion as the
sun wakes fiercer and fiercer. They
always sleep, men and women, in at least
one full suit of clothes, and during the
winter in half dozen, covering their
heads tightly with n quilted skull cap,
afterward drawing the cOverlet over the
head, and thus preventing the fresh air
from getting into their lungs.-Wolf Won

THE QUEEN OF SALESWOMEN.

An Artist In Whose Hands tn. Customer
Was Helpless As An Infant.
A conversation overheard; the speakers
are feminine. How did you come TO buy
those shoes, They are very handsome,
but not at all your usual style" well.
I've been pretending To everybody that
changed my mind about square toes, and
that bought them because liked them,
but I'll confess TO yon that it was no such
thing; bought them because the sales
woman WAS clever enough To make me do
it." ''She must have been clever in
deed" Yes. l don't wonder you say
SO; l generally take pleasure in declaring
my independence Of the usual sales
woman's dc.um. When she tells me
what is the style. and what she is buying
for herself. and what will just suit me,
wouldn't buy what she recommends il /
wanted 1t so much that | went To another
shop and got identically the same thing;
but the woman that sold me these shoes
was an artist in whose hands l was but
helpless infant. To begin with, she was
. bright, CHEEKY little thing, and struck
me dumb with amazement from the first
by waiting on me as if il were pleasure
for her to do IL.
Then she brought out these shoes with
the remark that she was SO glad she had
this one pair of this kind, for she knew
they would fit me- as they had been made
to order. so much better than the regular
stock How did it come that shoes made
to order were for sale TO me! Why the
lady who ordered them had forced the
measurer to take her measure too small,
she was so anxious to have little feet, but
when she came to try them they were i'm
possible She had gotten them SO small
| that she simply could not stand up in
them, but then what perfection they were
on me: wouldn't just stand up and walk
about in them; did ever any one see such
q combination of ease and elegance' OF
course she went on, you never could
wear q cheap shoe; they never make
cheap shoes with that high arched instep
Look at others' Oh. yes, certainly and
she came back as pleasantly as possible
with several pairs. But for them she had
nothing in particular TO say, and she had
by this time, by her adroit fiattery Of my
feet, inspired me with respect for her
| judgment-you know We do SO respect
the judgment Of the people that admire
us-that quite hung my decision on her
approval
| The fiattery was Of the most artistic
kind; it was all said with the simplest,
most unconscious air Of stating fact, and
when she said how these broad toes made
small foot look smaller still, though they
were too conspicuous for big one, sur
rendered and bought a shoe such As l
never expected to wear. OF course, the
fact is that they were ordered, and when
they were thrown back on their hands
they were too narrow To be generally sal
able That queen Of saleswomen knew
that they were the ones above all others
to get rid Of, and willy or nilly, so far as
was concerned. she sold them to me. But
l fiat,er myself there are not three others
in New York who could have done it; and
l am willing to put up with purchase l
don't altogether like in consideration Of
having found an agreeable woman. "

Westminster Abbey's Monuments.

Some Of the monuments tower up to the
height Of twenty feet or more, perhaps TO
the height Of thirty feet. Great Britain is
carved all over the bases of them weeping
for her sons. Judging by the number Of
these sons her lamentations are incessant,
and she would seem to be kind Of profes-
sional funeral mourner. The lion is seen
disconsolate, wipng his eye with his paw.
The unicorn is in deep melancholy. The
statesmen rise up in their robes Of peers
calmly gazing Off into the depths Of the
cathedral Here and there some entirely
forgotten person has made the marble
howl. One tomb represents a mans wife
snatched away by death, who is coming
coming OUT of the grave in his bones and
shroud 10 claim her and the husband is
squariIy off at him, as nearly as l can
recolle,s
The attempt to make marble do toe
much on funeral occasions often leads to
an emotion in the spectator between ex-
citement. wonder and smiles. Some actors
are put in here like Garrick. The monu.
ment to Shakespeare has been often copied,
but is poor composition. and 1t represents
Shakespeare leaning over q kind of table
AS he stands where his play books are
being studied. Perhaps the most ef.
fcctive thing in the poets line is Ben
Jonson's torib, which merely says: 'Oh,
rare Ben Jonson"'-(iath's Letter in Gin.

The fiery, untamed soda water tank,
which has chiefly distinguished itself since
the advent Of hot weather this year by
bursting and killing or manning its at
tendants, has made a new departure, and
now appears in the role of a most efficient
sxtinguisher of fire. Some days ago at
Louisville, KY, boy carried a lighted
candle into the cellar Of drug store, and
in some unexplained way set fire to a YES
sci full of varnish, which blazed up
through a grating in front Of the building
as high as the second floor. Before. how
ever, the flames could gain headway in the
building, the heat had melted the lead
pipe connected with the newly charged
soda fountain, and the flames were in
stantly eXtinguished.-FiTe and Water.

Food OF the Canary Islanders.

The splendid physical development of
the Canary Islanders gives special interest
TO their peculiar food. Five-sixths Of the
inhabitants, according to DIR. c. F. Taylor,
subsist almost exclusively upon a fine
-four made by grinding roasted wheat,
corn or barley. This is called gOfio.
Being already cooked, it requires no pre-
paration for eating except mixing TO any
desired consistency with milk. soup or any
suitable fluid Gofo is delicious, whole
some, highly nutritious and very con-
ycnient to use. For these reasons, and
the importan: one that it seems 10 remove
a tendency 10 acidty of the stomach, Dr..
Taylor recommends the addition of this
food To our own already large variety

helNe'S LEGEND DREAMS.

The ancient legends beckon
As with magic hand,
And sing their wondrOus stories
OF an enchanted land,
Where fairest flowers lsnguish,
In the golden sunset tide,
Aud look with such tender glances
As light the face of a bride.
Where all the trees are blending
Their songs in chorus sweet,
And gleefui springs make music
For merry dancing feet;
Where strains of love keep sounding,
As nowhere else are heard.
Until with wild, sweet longing,
The heart is wildly stirred.
All, c, uld | reach that country,
And there forget all pain,
And c,as. from every sorrow,
Re hlithe and free again
All in that lald of giadness.
In dreams often roam,
Then comes the morning sunlight
